Health is on my mind. Not mine, so much but my sister's. She entered Hospice care on Friday. The end is nigh.
I have another sister that I haven't seen for 40 years-her choice. A mutual friend told me that she is losing her fight to cancer, too.
Makes me and my brother the only two of five that have a chance at 70 (I'm there). Health can not be over emphasized.
I've always been one to 'go see'. I am certainly at my best when I am finding new places. My timing was perfect on one this summer. I was in Sequoia National Park and saw the largest tree on earth. It is currently wrapped in a huge fire blanket to try to save it from a wild fire...
Sorry to hear that...
I hope you and your sister make the best of the time you still have together. And that if the end is indeed nigh she has comfort in her final days.
Actually the comfort also goes for your other sister. With or without any contact.
Might have to add this to my list for my next trip to California 🤞🏾
Sequoia and Kings Canyon NP actually share a common border for quite a ways, and there are 3 National Forests for people like me that do stealth camping. Both are really cool places.
Also in the general same area, I recommend Lassen NP. It's beautiful, deserted and volcanic. Mud pots and steam vents abound. I was there last year and REALLY liked it.
